Ruby Tuesday is trying to charge me $1.95 for the "standard carrier" (cardboard folder), even though shipping is free. In past year's it's been possible to get a $50 GC for $50, is there a way to avoid this charge?

Thanks!=aw

Black Friday weekend Rite Aid is having a sale on their Discover-branded Home Improvement gift cards. When you buy a $50 Home Improvement card you will get a $10 +UP back (an +UP is a coupon that allows you to use it to buy almost anything that Rite Aid sells -- excluding alcohol, gift cards, and prescriptions -- in a 2 week period). There is a limit of two offers per Wellness card (that is their store loyalty program -- it is free to get a Wellness card).

Home Improvement gift cards have no fees whatsoever (activation, inactivity, transaction, etc.) and the funds never expire. The caveat is that they are only valid in stores they classify as home improvement stores. However I have had luck using them at Lowes to buy other 3rd party gift cards (such as Staples, etc.).

Here is a list where they say you can use your Home Improvement card at:

By the way, on Saturday, November 24, 2012 only, Ace Hardware is having a sale (coupon required) in which you can get 50% off a regular priced item up to $30. See thread here. You could pay with your Home Improvement card.

From their web site "For a limited time, when you purchase a gift card of $25 or more, you will automatically receive a $5 Denny's bonus card.

Please call 800-733-6697 and ask for the Gift Card Administrator. We offer a discount on gift card orders of $1000 or more. Contact us for more information."

"Offer expires 12/31/2012. Get a $5 Bonus Card for every $25 in gift cards purchased. Bonus Card is NOT a Gift Card. Bonus Card is NOT redeemable at the time of qualified gift card purchase. Bonus Card is valid for redemption on subsequent visit between 1/1/13 and 2/15/13. Card cannot be used for alcohol, tax and gratuity. Not valid with any other discount offer. Limit of one card per visit, per table. Bonus Card will not carry an unused balance. No cash value. Lost or stolen cards will not be replaced. no reproductions will be accepted.

Hometown Buffet

Buy $25 gift card and get a voucher for a free meal (free meal voucher redeemable between 1/1/13 - 1/31/13 only). Dinner at Hometown Buffet cost $10.99 (with no drink), so after tax they are giving you nearly $12 free just for buying a $25 gift card. That's a good return on investment. There is no limit to how many $25 gift cards and free meal vouchers you can buy.

HOLIDAY BONUS CARD FAQ’S

DOES THIS PROMOTION APPLY TO P.F. CHANG’S GIFT CARDS THAT ARE SOLD IN GROCERY STORES? No. The promotion only applies to gift cards sold at P.F. Chang’s restaurants in the Continental U.S. and online at www.pfchangs.com.

Vickh-yes, the $25 dining credit is good too. However, $50 minimum purchase in the main dining room, and specifically cannot use with the 5 for 6 til 7 promo. Just be aware, you'd need to use that in the main dining room, ordering off the regular menu.

As to applicability at the other restaurants in the family, I'll look at the back of my bonus card. Of course the GC is good at any of the others (Bonefish, Carrabas, Outback).
